4. Mr. Darcy, going against the judgement of his family/friends loved Elizabeth. Kevin's roommates told him he should give it up - I obviously wasn't interested in him. But, he didn't heed their council.

5. Mr. Darcy continued to do "acts of great kindness" for Elizabeth - even after she told him to "get lost." Kevin was kind and thoughtful - surprising me with notes of encouragement, flowers, and gifts - even though I told him I didn't have any interest in him beyond friendship.

6. Elizabeth came to realize that she was wrong about Mr. Darcy. I realized that Kevin wasn't - at all - the person I judged him to be when we first met.

7. Mr. Darcy won Elizabeth's heart. As much as I tried to resist, I couldn't help falling for Kevin - he won my heart too.

My favorite fictional couple right now is David and Elise (Matt Damon and Emily Blunt) in the movie, "The Adjustment Bureau." It's love at first conversation, and after that they just know that they know. And they fight SO HARD to be together. Touching!
